A deadly global crisis

Malnutrition is the leading cause of death for children under age five, claiming a child’s life every 11 seconds. Children who survive often have life-altering developmental challenges, severely limiting their potential.

Solutions exist – they need only be scaled

Decades of evidence and expert consensus point to high-impact, cost-effective solutions for malnutrition. The majority of those proven, high-impact solutions are not reaching those who need them most.

We are a donor ruthlessly focused on scaling up these most proven, cost-effective solutions. We have already invested over $100 million to catalyze their scale-up – with far-reaching results.

Today, many of ECF’s grants are funded by Eleanor personally, while others are fulfilled by the Foundation’s endowment.
